The Yacht, a new luxury hotel by the Fattal chain, has opened in Herzliya Marina, aiming to elevate the vacation experience for Israelis. The hotel, a joint venture with the Yitzhaki Group and built with an investment of approximately one billion shekels, is designed to evoke the feeling of being on a yacht. Architect Ilan Pivko designed the structure, which features a color palette of light tones, natural wood, and blue, intended to blur the lines between interior spaces and the marine environment. The hotel boasts 325 rooms and suites, with many offering panoramic sea views. Approximately 85 of these are suites, including garden suites with private pools and unique suites located at the building's bow.

The hotel offers extensive amenities, including a 50-meter main pool, a children's pool, and two rooftop areas with pools and bars. Culinary options include the chef's restaurant MARÉE, serving contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, and SKIPPER’S BAR, a lounge with food service. Chef Avi Biton's restaurant Club Marine is also featured, offering a notable dining experience. Additionally, the Riviera restaurant aims to capture a South European beach club atmosphere, and the hotel provides a rich breakfast spread. The KEDEM SPA offers various treatments, yoga, mindfulness, and sound healing sessions, complemented by a gym with sea views, a business lounge, meeting rooms, and a kids' club.

The HORIZON hall, suitable for events and conferences for up to 400 guests, overlooks the marina. The hotel's design incorporates custom artwork by Israeli artists such as Gal Ganon, Gur Anbar, and Miriam Kabase, alongside a prominent 18-meter bar made of American walnut. The Yacht's unique location, design, and comprehensive offerings are intended to provide a high-end alternative to international travel, creating a distinct identity beyond typical luxury hotels.
